I was recently given a book about the history of fashion called, surprisingly, “Vintage fashion.” It may sound a bit boring, but actually it’s quite an interesting read, taking you from 1900 through to 1989, and is filled with delicate illustrations and photography.
The book highlights trends and explains changes in fashion design, and the affect cultural and social influences had upon the fashion industry. As you flick through the book, it’s fascinating to see how fashion has changed dramatically over the years, and there really have been some horrific trends. Vintage fashion also discusses famous designers, such as Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli, revealing their background and fashion history, and explains their rise to fame.
I especially admire the cover as the designer has gone one step further and covered the book with a silk-like material giving it a beautiful smooth touch. From the beginning the reader is influenced, and you feel like you should handle the book with care. The foil-blocked title is the final nice touch.
